SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 787,054, dated April11, 1905.

` Application filed October 22, 1904. Serial. No. 229,520. l

To al whom it may concern.:

Be it known that we,.EDMUND A. Soi-IADE and ALBERT F. SCHADE, citizensof the United States, residing at New Britain, Hartford county,Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inPlanes, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact' description.

Our invention relates to improvements in planes.

The object of the invention is to provide a of fthe hand, which areliable to be bruised.

/mflhe invention is illustrated in the accompanying single sheet ofdrawings.

The body of the plane carries a bearing for lthe handle, so that thehandle can be tilted to either side and secured in place or used in avertical position, as is customary.

-Figure l is a side elevation of a plane, showing those parts whichembody the improvements of our invention in vertical section.

2 is a Yfragmentary detail showing the 3 is a handleof suitabeconformation and' material.

4 is a bearing for the handle, which extends lengthwise of the body forsome distance.

This is shown integral with the body; but it` is obvious that it may bemade separate and bolted ory riveted or otherwise secured in place.

5 is a pin or roller which is mounted in the vbearing-block 4 andadapted to rotate or oscillate from side to side through a limited eX-`tent.

6 is a rod which is screw-threaded at the lower end vand takes into thepin 5.

7 is a screw-cap cooperating with the upper end of the rod 6 forsecurely clamping the parts together.

Theparts are preferably assembled by first attaching the rod 6 to thepin 5, then slipping the handle member 3 over the rod 6, and lastlyfixing the cap 7 in place. By tightening the cap the handle may besecurely held in place on its seat on the bearing-block 4 in anyposition, as indicated, for instance, in dotted-- lines in Fig. 3, Y

`While this construction is exceedingly simple, it does provide a meansfor avoiding such accidents as in the past have been quite common whenusing an ordinary plane in certain positions-such as, for instance,planing deep rabbets or when operating upon jack-boards. The handle,moreover, may be secured in place in the ordinary upright position forusual Work.

It is obvious that many changes may be made in the details ofconstruction without departing from the spirit or scope of ourinvention.

l. 'In aplane, the combination of a body or stock portion having a longsemicylindrical bearing, 'a handle member having a correspondingsemicylindrical bearing, a pin mounted to oscillate in the body portionand a rod passing through said handle member and secured to said pinwith means to coact ltherewith for clamping the handle in position atdiiierent angular positions.

2. In a plane, the combination of a body or Vstock portion having alongitudinal bearing, a

handle tiltingly seated thereon, a pin mounted in said body portion anda rod passing through said handle and screwed into saidpin with meansfor coactingtherewith and clamping said handle in position.

3. lnaplane the eombinationofabody p0r- Signed at New Britain,Connecticut, this tion having a bearing, a handle mounted to 20th day ofOctober, 1904. tilt thereon. a pin rotatably mounted in said EDMUND A.SCHADE. stock portion beneath said bearing, a rod i Y passing' throughsaid handle and Screw-Seated ALBERl Il' SCHADE in said pin and a capeoaeting with Said rod Vfitnesses:

and Said handle and accessible for Clamping W. J. VVORAM,
